“Without a doubt, Austin’s 6th Avenue is the social capital of the city,” says Hannan. “In my experience, there are four parts to this social street: West 6th, ‘Dirty 6th,’ ‘Old 6th,’ and East 6th. “Starting with West 6th Street, there are many places with indoor and outdoor spaces where socialites can sit outside and enjoy a beer or two while enjoying the year-round sunshine.”
If you want a taste of what West 6th has to offer, watch a sports game with a local Texas beer at Star Bar, a popular neighborhood bar that has been serving loyal customers since it opened in 1995. There are two outdoor patios to choose from. You can relax with one of our 17 local beers while watching the game on a variety of screens.

“Go east and you’ll get to ‘Dirty 6th Street’ between Congress Avenue and Interstate 35.” Hannan continues. Similar to New Orleans’ Bourbon Street, this area’s unique party atmosphere with loud karaoke bars serving cheap booze to a predominantly young crowd may not be to everyone’s taste, but don’t be deterred. Even if you’re old enough to first remember the ’90s, there are some great places to visit here.
After shouting your approval (or disapproval) of your team’s performance at Star Bar, you’re probably a little hungry by now. Luckily, you can get some of the best burgers in town at Casino El Camino in the city center. ‘Dirty 6th’. Phenomenal burgers, hot dogs, and wings served up in a cool, clean atmosphere and killer jukebox make Casino El Camino a great place to stave off hunger.
